Details to follow. American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association, Inc. (www.aarwba.org) ”Dedicated To Increasing Media Coverage of Motor Sports” AARWBA Announces Ombudsman Program; Process Will Help Members With Work Concerns Valvoline Is Founding Underwriter Building on the member-friendly initiatives created during the 50th Anniversary Celebration, AARWBA's Board of Directors is pleased to announce the new Ombudsman program, designed to assist media and the motorsports industry with an intermediary and a common-sense process to resolve legitimate concerns regarding work issues. This important service places AARWBA in a similar position with respected and effective organizations such as the Baseball Writers Association of America, Pro Football Writers Association and the 842-7005 Professional Hockey Writers Association in terms of providing members with a process to work out legitimate concerns. Please Jim Rocco, Valvoline Designated Team Owner for refer to the information below for the formal Mission Statement and Valvoline Evernham Racing (left), displays specific details on how the Ombudsman process will work. The Valvoline’s founding underwriter check for the Ombudsman is operational effective immediately. AARWBA Ombudsman Fund with VPs Mike Harris and Lewis Franck and Valvoline Dodge team owner Ray Evernham. AARWBA thanks Valvoline, which has stepped forward as the founding underwriter of the Ombudsman program. Jim Rocco, Valvoline Designated Team Owner for Valvoline Evernham Racing, issued the following statement during the NASCAR Media Tour: "Valvoline has been involved in racing since the first race in North America -- in Chicago in 1895. J. Frank Duryea was the winning driver and he won with Valvoline. We've been at the races with the nation's motorsports media for almost as long. Instead of giving each of you a jacket or diecast -- which I'm sure you have plenty of -- we want to do something a bit more meaningful. Valvoline will donate to AARWBA for the establishment of its Ombudsman Fund. The fund will be administered by AARWBA for media with a legitimate 'working' problem with a driver, owner, team, track or sanctioning group who need advocacy. It is not a legal fund, but more an arbitration or mediation mechanism which they feel is needed to resolve issues quietly and profes- sionally. Valvoline is proud to be Founding Underwriter of this fund for racing journalists." The AARWBA Ombudsman Mission Statement: "To provide AARWBA members who have legitimate concerns (regarding issues such as credentials, access, and treatment by drivers, owners, officials, track and sanctioning organization personnel and other media sources), which affect their ability to perform their work assignments, an intermediary through which to address and attempt to resolve those concerns." Process: An AARWBA member who believes he/she has a legitimate concern to bring to the AARWBA Ombuds- man will follow this process: ...continued on next page Shav Glick Retirement Event Planned California Speedway plans to host a reception in honor of Shav Glick’s retirement.

All Contents © The American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association 922 North Pass Avenue Burbank, CA 91505-2703 (818) 2 AARWBA Ombudsman Program 1. The member will contact his/her appropriate regional Vice President, or a Vice President in attendance at the event. 2. The Vice President will review the situation and will have full discretion to determine if the matter falls under the Ombudsman Mission Statement. If so, the VP will attempt to quickly resolve the issue or achieve a reasonable settlement. 3. The VP will report back to the AARWBA Board. If necessary, the VP may request the President to activate the full Ombudsman Committee. The Committee will consist of three persons: a) The VP who first reviewed the matter, who will lead the Committee; b) A person, appointed by the President, who may have special knowledge of, or expertise in, the area of concern; 842-7005 c) Michael Knight, who has experience on both the media and PR side of the motorsports industry, will serve as a permanent member of the Committee. d) If, for any reason, it is deemed inappropriate for any Committee member to serve, the President will appoint a replacement. 4. The Committee will have complete authority from AARWBA to attempt to bring the member's concern to the best obtainable resolution. 5. The appropriate regional VP will keep the member informed of developments throughout the process. The Committee's on-going work activities will be considered "confidential" and not for the knowledge of anyone beyond the immediate parties and the AARWBA Board. 6. The Committee, upon completion of its work, will report back to the AARWBA Board. The Committee will then communicate its final report to all involved parties. The Committee will recommend to the Board what, if anything, to report to the full membership via the AARWBA newsletter. The Board will have the final decision on what information, if any, to make public. AARWBA Ombudsman Contacts: President: Dusty Brandel, [email protected] National Vice President: Mike Hollander, [email protected] Eastern Vice President: Lewis Franck, [email protected] Southern Vice President: Mike Harris, [email protected] Midwest Vice President: Ron Lemasters, [email protected] Western Vice President: Susan Wade, [email protected] Secretary-Treasurer: Dr. George Peters, [email protected] Ombudsman Committee Member: Michael Knight, [email protected] David Poole of the Charlotte Observer wrote the following on January 24: “Instead of giving ‘gifts’ to media tour members, Valvoline contributed $2,500 to a writers’ group fund to hire an ombudsman to help members mediate issues that arise in their jobs. Every sponsor should use that as an example. Instead of hand- ing out hats, computer bags or other freebies, donate the amount that would have been spent to an appropriate charity. Any tour participant who complains should not be invited back next year, because if you’re here to pick up trinkets you’re not here for the right reasons.” All Contents © The American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association 922 North Pass Avenue Burbank, CA 91505-2703 (818) 3 FORD Motorsports Journalism Award Of Excellence Winners Announced! 1st Place: Article Title: The Biff (Greg BIffle) by Dick Berggren, Speedway Illustrated. 2nd Place: Article Title: Dear Old Dad (John Force) by Susan Wade, National Speed Sport News. 3rd Place: 842-7005 Article Title: Quarter Mile Thunder (Eric Medlen) by Norm Froscher, Racing Milestones.

From Mike Hollander, AARWBA Vice-President Newsletter Editor Andy Hartwell recently had a great idea. He’s a member who didn’t “know what needs to be done” to support the AARWBA and keep us growing. Well, here’s a list of things for which the AARWBA needs the help of its members. If you are reading this, you are a member. Please pick one or more items from the list that you can do to help us grow into an organization with the same kind of clout as other professional media organi- zations, such as the Baseball Writer’s Association. If you drop us a note, together we can get the ball rolling. Write to our President, Dusty Brandel, or to me, Mike Hollander. And remember, if we all take just one item on the list, that will mean we have close to 500 people doing a little something each to 842-7005 build our organization’s stature and membership.

  • Joe Leonard Is the Only American to Have Ever Won National Titles on Two and Four Wheels WORDS by NORM DEWITT
    JOE LEONARD n Joe’s 1951 switch to Harley factory rider came by accident, SAN DIEGO but ended up in glory CHARGE R Joe Leonard is the only American to have ever won national titles on two and four wheels WORDS BY NORM DEWITT. PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE AMERICAN MOTORCYCLIST ASSOCIATION AND JOE LEONARD’S COLLECTION ohn Surtees is revered on this side of the Atlantic as the only man to have won world championships on both two wheels and four. But over in the States there’s a guy called Joe Leonard who is celebrated for a similar reason – as a racer who won major J national titles on motorcycles as well as in cars. Riding for Harley-Davidson, Leonard won the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Grand National title three times before switching to Indycar racing and winning the four-wheel title twice. More than that, both bike and car championships required the racers to run on dirt ovals as well as tarmac ovals and road courses, making Leonard’s success even more noteworthy and underlining his all-round ability – and adaptablity. And as with so many American racing legends of the 1950s and ’60s, there was a San Diego connection. As 1972 Daytona 200 winner Don Emde says: “That’s what San Diego was all about. My dad had won Daytona, some of his best friends had also won the 200. Brad Andres (two wins) had a shop one block up the street. My dad was a sponsor of Ralph White (winner) when he got started. Joe (two wins) grew up there when he started riding bikes.

  • AUTOGRAPHS Brouthers, Dan (1858-1932)
    BASEBALL HALL OF FAME AUTOGRAPH GUIDE Includes pricing for signed items that were not certified via an authentication system, including a sticker or hologram on the item, at the time of signing. The following values are estimates based on extensive research using prices realized in major auctions and retail sales in storefronts. All values are for signed items in the 6-7 range of autograph quality (10 being perfect) with unquestioned authenticity. A perfectly clean example of either autograph, item signed or both will raise the values dramatically. All signed baseball prices are for non-shellacked and non-personalized official balls. This is only a guide and many items have sold at many multiples of these values. N/A means not available or so rare it’s impossible to price.
